    You're all mad, it's a great game.
    Please guys, cheer up and enjoy things for what they are.
    Calling everything crap when it's clearly first rate just makes you look like a douchy hipster.
    Worst element?... The prospect of paying for more content. Otherwise it's damn fine stuff, single and multi player.

    THe game was definitely hyped a bit much but I think it's overall one of the best if not the best games released this year. Haters gonna hate but whatever. Graphics, gameplay etc, all top notch.

    Best ps4 game to date, graphics are great, the online is smooth and seamless and its great fun to play with a few friends. All the negative reviews on here are the upset people who choose to buy an xbox and are now stuck with a crappy system. Great game, worth the money.

    This game has a learning curve. It is not Modern Warfare: Halo.

    There are complex systems, but they are easy to get into if you have a little bit of patience and appreciation for depth.

    Everything I wanted, and then some.

    After playing the Alpha and Beta extensively, I can say that this game is extremely addictive. I thought I would have already had my fill but upon official release I still need to get my fix. I've only begun to scratch the surface of what wasn't in the Beta but it's everything Bungie promised. If the Raids deliver this will likely be my GOTY.

    Very good game even ignoring all the hype. It's one that's going to evolve and grow over time much like a MMO so its hard to give it a final score. The game wont appeal to everyone, but its far from being as bad as all these low scores suggest. Expect this to be a larger and richer game in the future as the universe expands.

    I bought this game solely on the basis of the beta and after playing the game for a considerable amount of time I still recommend this game without a slight hint of hesitation.

    Solo or with 2 friends. Campaign or crucibal. I didn't had so mush fun in a while. Gameplay is perfect. Level design are great and PvP maps all takes advantage of the verticality. Its all about the loot man! Your getting 1 or 2 great items on each missions. Loot adjust to your lvl too. Replays early mission with a friend who has jus begun the game and you still earn great pieces for YOUR lvl.

    If you want more challenge you can play each mission on hard difficultie but the real pain is crucibal! You will be crushed on your first games . the trick is to experiment with classes and load out. Some guns are better in PvP. Look for more impact, fire rate and magazine size. Reloading in the middle of a fight is certain death! Titan is a good idea.

    This is just my review so far. In my humble opinion, no one can review that game right now. This fps/RPG/mmo is an evolving thing. There's so much content we haven't seen. Raids, iron banners, weekly and public events. There's also 2 expansions on the way. Sites who reviewed this game on september 10 and 11 have clearly not understand something. When someone say that this game is 20 hours long...cod campaign is 5 hours long but I still play I all year long!!!

    Don't lisent to all the haters. This game is great. I can't wait to see what's next!!!    … Expand

    As someone who's played the Alpha AND Beta, everything in the final version of Destiny is what I came to expect. The world is unique and inspiring, the weapons sound great and there's plenty to do that will last you for weeks.

    It might not be the game for everyone, but for me, Bungie have made another solid game.

I am very looking forward to see how this universe and story develops. Besides the fact that I'm having a lot of fun with this game, I'd like to point out the perfect game mechanics and also the compelling overall design - it is really remarkable! Just my thing - Sci-Fi, dystopia, action, weapons, items, multiplayer, character customisation and development - and all bundled into a very well done package. Just a few words on multiplayer: If your expectation is to socially engage with other players like in MMOs and if that is important for you - maybe Destiny is not for you. Multiplayer is there and it works great but just like many things in Destiny, it is (positively) different. There's no chat and almost no voice interaction, this is more like in Battlefield for example. For me this is just great, I never liked the babbling in MMOs anyway. If things in the game require true teamwork I would only band up with players that I know anyway.… Expand

    In all honesty, I'd give it a 9/10 because in my view the communication is lacking (unless you go in on a party you're basically muted on all activities) and there's no way to challenge players or clans. But I'll give it a 10/10 instead just to counter the trolls giving this game a zero, which it does not deserve at all.

It was never, EVER advertised this way. And their failure to expect anything more that a Borderlands/Halo clone with a multiplayer system akin to Dark Souls (Also, not an MMORPG) is a solid indicator on how little they actually understand system mechanics and clearly represented information, let alone how to critique something. There were TWO opportunities to play this game with the Alpha and the Beta, which were both solid representations of Destiny. Granted this was one of the "biggest" Alpha/Beta test, surely they played it, right? The pre-release gameplay footage alone was evidence enough of it's stance, but these people who deem themselves "reviewers" couldn't figure this out for themselves.

    So now, I will turn my "review" into an insight on the intelligence of the negative reviewers.

    In a nutshell, they are dumb f***ing casuals who can't even process CLEARLY represented information.

    Unfortunately, we live in a day and age where "gamers" are a thing of the past, since gaming has become as mainstream as daytime television (See: Xbox One). Pewdiepie is the king of the retards and people are still enthralled by Call of Duty and GTAV is heralded as one of the "BESS GAYMES EVAHHH"

    Several points I've seen from aforementioned reviewers are subjects such as:
    -Limited chat system (Stops trolling and reduces excess noise)
    -Comparison to Call of Duty (Is it because of ADS and sprint?)
    -Comparisons to Halo (Totally justified, since Bungie spent 10 years with the series)
    -Not being an MMORPG
    -Being an online only title
    -No story (Dafuq? It's told as you play, right?)
    -Grinding (Diablo was a grindfest too, y'know?)

    Sure, I can take a couple of those points as serious consideration to negatively review Destiny.
    But a lot of these users dismiss every other positive aspect about the game, because of their disgruntlement about a feature not being what they "expect", even though the information is publicly available. Alas, I leave you to your own devices on which users to believe

    So rather than believe that big red bar, stemming from sh*t tier reviewers.

    Try the game for yourself, read up some information or maybe even rent it?
    Form your own opinion, instead of listening to the ramblings of subhuman dimwits.

    There are 3 different classes : Warlock , Titan , Hunter.
    Each character has different and special abilities and this is where the game shines the most imo , The abilities are so fun to use and balanced , You may wanna create all 3 different characters to see what they all have to offer but to be honest ,They should of added more classes which would make the game much better with even greater replay value but it is still a great game either way.

    The single play may get repetitive after about 10 hours of playing so you will feel the need of friends to play with you to make it better.

    The multiplayer on the other hand is the best thing this game has to offer , The amount of hours you can spend in multipalyer is insane and its bloody fun , Everything in the multiplayer is well done from the voice of the British guy to the sounds of grenades and guns ,You can drive your sparrow or hop into a tank or get in a turret all of those are fun as well.

    Weapons: Of course we can't talk about Destiny without talking about the weapons in it , There are a lot of variety in weapons from Pistols to shotguns to Rockets and each weapon is upgradeable and there is special ammo and special ammo the special ammo is for your primary weapon and the heavy ammo is for heavy weapons .

    So is Destiny worth buying ? : the answer is if you like FPS games ,Hell yes go and buy it , IF you don't like FPS games then don't buy it . Simple as that.

    The game imo deserves a 9/10 and that's due to lack of missions variety in single player and they could add more classes to the overall game , But its a great game indeed. I gave it a 10 to make things a bit balanced because as i see a lot of people are giving it a 0 , Which is stupid and trolling.    … Expand

    Here is what I like:

    - Very easy to link up with friends and play together.
    - Great co-op experience, probably the best I've had since Left 4 Dead.
    - Top quality shooting mechanics - gun play is superb.
    - Top quality sound effects
    - Top quality Graphics (I played the beta on a PS3 and now own a PS4 - just blown away how good it looks)
    - Good progression system, although loot may be a tad weak. This can be easily remedied.
    - 3 man dungeons with scaling difficulty, as they get harder you will need to use tactics & teamwork. Very satisfying.
    - PvP was frustrating at first as I learned the maps/game but I am improving and as I do its naturally becoming more and more enjoyable. Very well done.
    - Patrol missions can be viewed as repetitive, I see them as a way to mindlessly shoot stuff for when i want to play at a lower brain function.

    Things that I don't like:
    - I honestly could not find one thing I didn't like about the game.
    - I can't even find anything to critique.

    This is the game I needed right now after experiencing severe MMO burnout and being coerced into buying a couple "indie" games by reviewers that were utter crap. I still like to read reviews but my BS meter is improving.

    Folks, open your eyes and don't believe the hate from people who obviously didn't play the game.
    The fact that they continue to compare it to Borderlands says everything.
    If you're still on the fence, just find a way to try it. Game is not perfect, but DAMN GOOD, and this is from someone who doesn't really like FPS.

These environments should have hoards of roaming "whatevers" that could be accidentally aggroed, used as a distraction for enemies, ect.

    +Excellent scenery. Seriously, this game is gorgeous.
    +Simple, but effective RPG elements.
    -Story is bare bones(but can be fleshed out by reading grimoire cards at Bungie.net.)

    Of course, these are my opinions on the game. The story being the only downside to an otherwise great game. I don't honestly think the game deserves a 10/10, but closer to a 8.5-9/10. I'm rating it a 10 to try to negate the absolutely garbage reviews giving this a 0/10.

    To sum it all up. Buy this game. It's entertaining, and will only get better with the updates that Bungie will implement. This is an ever changing game, and just watching it evolve from Alpha, to Beta, to release has been a great experience.

I went into Destiny with ZERO hype and little in the way of expectations and I LOVE this game.

    This game is best enjoyed with a group of friends online, but the "solo" campaign is pretty fun in its own right.

    I will say that I wish the levels were better fleshed out with more to explore, and I also don't care for a lack of a rotation on multiplayer maps, but these negatives shouldn't deter from playing this incredibly addicting game.

    I'm giving this game a 10 because the unwarranted and ridiculous 0's and 1's it's getting. If you think this game is a 0 or a 1, you're either a troll, or you've never really played a 0/1 kind of game. I'd realistically say this game is at an 8.5 FYI.

    1. Over 50% of the reviewers are people who just log on to post negative reviews regarding things. Click on some of their names and see.

    2. People expected a Halo clone. Hellllloooo? Bungie left Halo because they were done with it. They said from the start that this would be more similar to an MMOFPS than Halo.

    3. "Voice chat is limited/people don't talk." Then why did you get it on PS4 and not XBOX? Having both a PS3 and an Xbox 360 for years, Xbox is far noisier when it comes to people talking. Granted it's mostly kids but... Also, voice is in the game. That's all Bungie needed to do. The fact that it's limited does not matter.

    4. "It doesn't have an offline mode." This shouldn't even be a complaint. You knew this was coming from day one.

    5. "We have to shoot the same enemies, all the time." This complaint is coming from the same people who expected a Halo clone...where all you do is shoot the same enemies...all the time....on different little maps...talk about finding fault with everything...

    6. "I've played for 15 hours and I'm bored." No you haven't. When these complaints came out this morning, the game had been released for literally 6 hours. Plus, this is geared toward an MMO. Have you ever played an MMO for 6 hours and quit because it was a bump and grind? I don't think so. There's a leveling process. In every RPG type game. If you played WoW for 6 hours at launch, every quest was fetch and kill, and you'd barely hit level 10 in that time (Cap was 60). How about you actually play the game and see?

    Seriously...put in some time and effort...even Bungie said be weary of day one reviews. Sigh, sucks to be impatient I guess.

Then I tried Destiny which came with my PS4 bundle. At first I felt that it was underwhelming and incoherent as I was expecting a single player type epic story with tight narrative. I gave up on it but went back to it couple months after completing all my backlog games. And 2nd time round, i gave it a chance and made sure i committed a good number of hrs to it. And boy did i have FUN! This game is perfect for me, a working married adult with limited time for extended game sessions. This game made me reminisce of those childhood days where i gamed for fun! The last few games i finished felt like a chore, like a checklist of things to complete. It's refreshing to play a game and not having to keep up with an epic storyline and just de-stress and shoot some stuff. I mean i love games with great plot, characters and direction, but i guess ive been playing too much of those games and sometimes after a long day of work, i just wanna relax and unwind.

    Destiny's shooting is perfect for consoles. Never did i feel like i wish i had a mouse and keyboard which was my main gripe with playing FPS on console (just switched to PS4 from a gaming laptop which died on me). Each weapon type feels distinct and has advantages in different situations. I love the weapon designs and just collecting Exotics and Legendaries. Looting is fun (Diablo 1-3 took up 20% of my life!) but the shooting and completing challenging missions are the essence of the Destiny experience. Especially when u play co-op with either auto matchmaking or finding people on forums to team up with. To me the Exotic or Legendary loot i get at the end is just a bonus. The euphoria of overcoming a particular tough challenge with a bunch of pple is intoxicating. And i like it that we dont have to chat or type to communicate, just some random 'dance' or 'wave' character movements. That was what put me off MMOs like world of warcraft where u have to be really involved socially. This feels bery balanced where i get to play with pple but not have to socialize beyond the occassional psn messages. Although the King's Fall raids do require more detailed communication via microphones, and thats the only thng i've yet to complete.

    Story could be done much better of course and i do believe they will do a better job in the sequel. The grimoire cards (basically game lore) were annoying at first cos i thought they could be accessed in-game. But once i downloaded the Destiny app and a PDF on google for the complete grimoire collection, i realized there was a lot more to the game lore than explained in the game. This kinda impressed me and pulled me in even more. So on my 2nd character play through, I went way slower (i blazed though my first playthrough as a hunter so had no idea what the heck was going on) and listened to every dialogue, background conversation and read up every quest description. That gave the game more meat in terms of story and plot, especially after reading the complete grimoire beforehand. I wish Bungie will release a lore book in future, like Dragon Age's World of Thedas. I'd buy that.

    Anyway, this is the most fun i've had in a game in a long time. And that's not been one of my benchmarks for judging a game. It used to be graphics, story/plot, or characterization that decided for me if a game was great. Destiny just blew my mind how much fun i was having and it's very refreshing. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy FPS, looking for something fun and "mindless" to squeeze in under an hour or 30min per session, and love looting. Sign me up for Destiny 2, COLLECTORS EDITION! Keep it up Bungie, have not played a Bungie game since the original Halo 1 & 2 on the original Xbox (gave up waiting on Halo series to come on PC), so this was bloody impressive!    … Expand

Also remember assassins creed for the record started the same way. I actually did like the story in halo and played the campaigns for each one. I think that this game has an amazing potential and as updates come and go it will come out more and more. If you honestly think they spent five years developing a story and the first 20-25 levels was going to reveal it all to you, I could see why you would be disappointed. Remember that reviving dead ghosts also reveals a good amount of back story if you take the time to check it out. The game looks beautiful, mechanics are great and smooth, bungie paid major attention to detail in which few games ever do. I find the loading screens and cut scenes beautiful and the music gets ready to play before each PVP match.

You put 0 -.- you are clearly retarded. This game is epic and bigger than what I could have imagined, and I have a pretty evolved brain.

    Furthermore, this game was a dream come true for me. I really needed this in my collection. This is probably the most genuine risk taking game that has made the fps experience more than shooting people randomly, but rather shooting people randomly with style, and long term gratification. I am hooked on this, and I really hope Bungie's plan for a ten year lifespan really comes true. Can't wait to see what the future has in store!    … Expand

It's fun with friends, even with people you never met before you will have fun. There are few repetitive things in the game, yes but it's an fps it's what is expected. I mean look at all the Call of Duty games repetitive as ever yet many people love playing it. Destiny is delivered as it is, you can still solo through out the game which is much harder for those who prefer single player, and ignore people saying there isn't single player because you have the option to either choose to play by yourself or with others meaning there is single player and multi-player, where multi-player is fine as it is either playing with 1 friend or more up to 5 and or 5 other random people. The story is rich and unique, it's what sci-fi fans would like, it's more on the generic side but has it's unique parts within the stories. Game play is full of action pack, with different capabilities with the 3 classes, fun vehicles to drive around the map killing things, large maps to explore including hidden enemies, treasures, bosses and new area locations within the maps. This game no doubt is not a let down, but meets my expectation and I give it a fair rating of 8/10. The game is not perfect but is enjoyable, fun and can be competitive if your not a casual player. I recommend people watch the game play, read other proper reviews and see it yourself, not bunch of lies, hate and pathetic trolling, and maybe ask a friend if they have a copy and try it out yourself.… Expand

I am thoroughly addicted, and even with the constant stream of goals I'm trying to work on each and every night, I still find myself getting lost in the sheer fun of the gunplay mechanics and hoping for a hectic public event to appear on the horizon. The world is beautiful, lovingly designed, and I can't get enough. Even the simple act of moving through the world is a gameplay joy that few other games can match. These are the basic truths that the negative reviews are missing - did Destiny have even more potential? Sure. Is it still a better game than most? Absolutely.

    The negativity you hear stems from a few things which I will try to address:

    1. The over-hyped expectations of individuals. This can't be helped, but it does help to remember what Destiny is and is not. It is a shooter with more to do than just competitive multiplayer. If that appeals to you at all, then you will love this game. If you wanted World of Warcraft in space, or No Man's Sky with guns, this is not that game. But it is one of the best darn shooters out there.

    2. Very little storyline. Despite plenty of story missions, it is true that Destiny fails at trying to tell its story. I think this is simply because they thought too far ahead, and intended to piecemeal out the story a little at a time across all their future expansions. They probably should have shown us all the epic storyline they could come up with right off the bat, and worry about writing more later. But, that's not to say that their worldbuilding isn't fantastic - they have all the elements for a great world and a great story, they just tried to be mysterious about it for the entire game. This was a mistake, but I still enjoy their world and its factions, even if only by sensing their unexpressed potential.

    3. The grind. After level 20, you have to start thinking about how you play the game and what you want to achieve for your character. This confuses some people and puts them off, but I think it is actually handled rather cleverly, and every night I have left the game feeling satisfied with my accomplishments. Leveling past 20 isn't simply a matter of finding your favorite farming location and killing the same stuff over and over; that won't work. You begin having to balance the different types of play modes, and inevitably find that your play session squeezed a surprising amount of variety out of the existing content (within your personal preference - you can get the same results whether you prefer PvE or PvP, which is a huge selling point for me). The PvE Strike playlist randomizes, for instance, ensuring that no one can pick the most exploitable one and replay it for endless grind; Bounties change daily and Daily/Weekly missions find ways to reuse Story missions with modified enemies and gameplay modifiers. Basically, this all means that while you will replay the same content throughout the endgame, Bungie has found every possible way to creatively mix up and reuse that content in new ways to keep you busy. (far better than most competitive shooters, where all you EVER play are the same maps over and over). So there is a grind, but it's the best-handled grind I've seen. Hopefully it will continue to improve even more (special events have already begun to demonstrate this).

    Destiny is fun. Destiny is well made. Destiny will keep you up late at night. If those are your expectations of a good game, and you measure it against other games out there in the genre, you won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    Although Destiny isn't the brilliant start to a franchise that many had hoped for, it's a great game for those who can push through its flaws and enjoy the ride.

    What is most amazing of all is that despite its litany of weird little problems, Destiny is fantastic, its combat up there with the very best, the thrilling rhythm of its battles still not fading the 30th time through, and it has no single systemic problem that is not fixable. [Dec 2014, p.106]

    Destiny is a flawed but still extremely fun first person shooter. While the Destiny universe itself seems intriguing, the storyline is told in such an incoherent manner that it's hard not to be turned off by all the technobabble. Fortunately the co-op shooter mechanics are absolutely perfect. The loot system can be maddening, but in a way it adds to the game's addictiveness. [Oct 2014]
